Capsular contracture release: restoring comfort and appearance
Capsular contracture release is a surgical procedure that is performed to correct the hardening and tightening of the scar tissue that forms around breast implants. This condition is known as capsular contracture and can cause pain, discomfort, and distortion of the breast shape. During the procedure, the surgeon will make an incision in the breast and remove the hardened scar tissue. In some cases, the implant may also need to be replaced or repositioned. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and can take several hours to complete. Recovery time varies depending on the extent of the surgery, but patients can expect to experience some discomfort and swelling for several weeks. Capsular contracture release can restore the natural appearance and feel of the breast and improve overall comfort and quality of life for patients experiencing this condition.
